For a certain ovine, what was happening right now was a fulfillment of the dreams that she had ever since she was really little.

From early on, the stars and the like had always been her fascination. When she was just a kid, no more than six old (if she could remember correctly), she participated in a stargazing event at one of the small parks in the Burrows for the first time, and ended up getting a glimpse at a few shooting stars in the process. Her young mind was awestruck, and it was basically from that moment on that she knew, deep down in her heart, that she truly wanted to reach for the stars.

As she grew up, science obviously became her favorite subject in school. Whenever she had a chance to, reading whatever she could find regarding space and the like was something she additionally enjoyed doing. And on some occasions, whenever the night sky was clear, Sharla would grab the telescope that she owned and just study the stars and constellations from her bedroom window.

Although some mammals in school told her to just abandon her dreams, saying that there was little to no possibility of her accomplishing them, her close friends, who had big dreams of their own, always were encouraging her to never give up on what she loved.

Thinking about that in the back of her head made Sharla's previously faint smile widen as she continued what she was working on. An uncanny sense of soundlessness was what was surrounded the sheep on all sides. Her cocking back over to her left, Sharla once again took a good look back at the visible blotches of blue and green belonging to the planet she called her home. If there was one thing that she could be certain of, it was that the views from where she currently was located couldn't be beat.

Her head turning back to the tasks in front of her, the ovine continued to work on the installation of the adapter plates on the side of the spacecraft she occupied. Sharla floated over a few inches to the right, with obviously no gravity holding her firmly in one exact position. Her crew had been busily working together on the rest of the installation for a good bit of time now.

Sharla glanced over at the other two members of her crew from the Zootopia Space Station joining her in this particular spacewalk, a deer and an ocelot. A utensil ended up coming her direction, and the sheep managed to grab it as it weightlessly floated in the ominous vacuum of outer space.

The ovine's head turned back around, glimpsing yet another time at home. For a brief moment, she started thinking about Judy, her best friend, and how the giant city that she lived her dreams in was just a small speck of land from where she was.

Meanwhile...

Located a small space away from a familiar cobblestone bridge—the one where an ever-so-familiar memory was made under—the particular spot Judy was in made for a great place to go if she and Nick were looking for a serene spot to enjoy each other's company.

The doe leaned back where she seated, her fox not too far away from her presence. Judy's eyes, rather than focusing upon the atramentous sky above, were watching something that was playing on her iPaw.

Curiously, the vulpine a few inches away took a peek at what his bunny appeared to be attentively watching from her phone. What was on the small screen appeared to be a spacewalk of some sort. However, it wasn't just any spacewalk being broadcasted live. It was the spacewalk that Judy's good friend, Sharla, was a part of.

For a moment, the doe holding the phone smiled, putting it down and looking at the star-filled sky. Below the firmament, straight in front of the two mammals, a few trees stood a few yards away from where the bridge was located. One of them looked like it had no leaves left on it, and the smaller ones appeared to only a scant number of leaves still enact. Distant from it all, like the background of a priceless painting, was the faint outlines of the beloved city.

Yet another time, Judy's head wondrously peaked back up to the glittery, surreal blanket of stars. Thinking of Sharla again as she beamed, the doe murmured to herself, "Another dream fulfilled."

Author's Note: It's only natural for the forty-second story here to be about space and the like, isn't it? XD

I remembered Sharla saying that she wanted to become an astronaut, and so the idea of writing something that showed her fulfilling that childhood dream started coming to mind.

Anywho, this was written in a short amount of time, so it's not exactly the best thing I could come up. But I hope that it was decent enough for y'all to enjoy reading it anyways. I've got better story ideas cooking up that I'll be sharing as soon as I can. :)

'Til next time! :D
